Rs 20 cr in ticket sales for Justin Bieber: Price no barrier for Indians?

Live music events are pulling in crowds and brands; despite ticket prices going up by 33%

As Justin Bieber swayed to shrieking and swooning fans at Mumbai’s DY Patil stadium on Wednesday, getting into paroxysms of delight backstage was a small group that had spent the past year getting the grand spectacle off the ground. Bieber’s show has brought in Rs 20 crore in ticket sales and at least double the amount in sponsorship from 11 brands. As live music events get more popular and fill up stadia with capacities of 60,000 plus attendees, it has become a lucrative way to milk the business of music.

According to a 2017 report on media and entertainment by FICCI-KPMG, live events as a category is growing by 20-25 per cent a year (this includes sports) and organisers say, return on investment in music is steadily on the rise as audiences and companies queue up for a slice of the concert experience. A Global Citizen concert that had Coldplay performing in the city last year sold tickets between Rs 5,000-25,000. Bieber tickets were priced in the same range but a special set that came loaded with backstage passes and Bieber memorabilia went as high as Rs 76,000.

An upcoming concert by singer Ed Sheeran in November this year is expected to take both ticket prices and sponsor involvement further up a notch. Hindi music artist Arijit Singh’s performances go for Rs 1,000-25,000 (as per his last concert in New Delhi in April) and he draws in an impressive list of sponsors.

Live music events have turned big revenue earners in a country known for its penchant for song and dance. For singers, this helps offset the severe loss in income due to digital streaming and piracy; for the rest (event organisers, broadcasters), it is an opportunity to cash in on the growing desire to be a part of a live experience. This is the reason, analysts say, the live events business in music is growing at the industry average of 25 per cent and drawing in the brands with big bucks. (more)

Alia Bhatt will not be part of Sadak's sequel

Alia Bhatt says would like to have multiple dimensions to her personality rather than being known as just an actress.

"I don't want to be known as an actor. I have told this to my mother many times that I need to have layers to my personality. Whether it is producing something on TV, singing, social work or anything. So, I always wanted to have something which is not about me but about others," Alia told reporters here.

Post the success of "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" there were reports that Alia will take a six month break but Alia says she is going on a short holiday.

"I am not going on a big holiday or break. I am going away for eight-ten days and that's ok... So, I will learn things that I don't get time to do like sing, dance, cook and spend time with my cat."

The actress in collaboration with Moon Frog, a game developer, today launched her own experiential game - 'Alia Bhatt: Star Life'.

"I can't play games that frustrate me. I need the game to calm me down. I have played farmville and candy crush. I have a hectic life so I want to play games to relax."

When it comes to playing games with her father Mahesh Bhatt, Alia is too competitive and wants to win every game that she plays.

Alia Bhatt will not be part of Sadak's sequel

"I am a competitive person and when I am competing with my father, we both make sure we win.
